Did you know about 1 in 4 people who visit a primary care provider with physical symptoms end up with what’s called Medically Unexplained Symptoms (MUS)?

In this article, Dr. John Ross unpacks what MUS really means, why fatigue, pain, nausea without clear diagnosis can leave both patients and providers feeling stuck, and why the mind-body connection matters more than we often admit.
